Hey, Look What I Can Do!

These last few weeks, post-spring break, have been crazy… fun! It worries me a little because I’m wondering, “What the hell have I been doing the first half of the semester?”

I don’t think this is because its the end of the semester, but for some reason its like I have zero time to do anything and get it done. Its as if I don’t even know what time management is. So much to do, and yet so little time…

Highs N’ Lows

This past week, I learned a few lessons that I’ve previously known about, but I have seem to have forgotten for the moment and needed reminding.

Color Palettes & Grids

Last week, there were some interesting “Eureka!” moments. Both concerned color theory and CSS grids. Come, let me tell you what I mean…

FTW! (For the Win!)

Last week we not only got presented our midterm microsite assignments, but we also tackled full size images and their responsiveness. Seeing websites out there big sized images and/or video, it seems that that is the direction of design people are looking for. Plus, it’s awesome!

Going Mobile

This last week I couldn’t attend class due to family events and Thursday we had no class. However, there was still a lot of learning to be had within the course files. I think this week the work made me go through all the emotions – fun, annoyed, and relief!

Flexbox is Magic

This week was chalk full of information that my little OCD mind found to be so fun! I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot. Oh, so useful though!

Flex Your Floats!

As a designer, I really like to think outside the box and do stuff that no one else is willing to try, or just haven’t yet. Usually, its just me being over zealous. Nevertheless, when it comes to using block elements and making a page that’s pretty and organized, utilizing floats and flexbox creates a panic-less me.

The Art of Typography

Combining fonts is really an unappreciated skill, unless you realize its not exactly the easiest design concepts to master.

Like Riding A Bicycle

I’ve had years of practice with HTML and sure, I don’t use it everyday like I used to since I’ve returned to my studies, but regardless, it’s very much as if I’m getting back on a bicycle after a 23 year hiatus.
